"What is funny is that as a Democrat I was not expecting you to continue to harbor this resentment against another Democrat. That is definitely a sign of immaturity.
Ahhh, where did I say I was a Democrat? I've been an independent voter for quite some time now which apparently frees me from being a slave to like and dislike whatever candidate I see fit.
During the start of the Democratic primary in 1988, Jesse Jackson was the choice of majority of registered voters. I did not hear anybody say that he expected to be crowned king because of his name recognition, inside connection and all the crap you touted.
Jessie Jackson was never the favorite to win the nomination in 1988 nor, apart from name recognition, did he fit any of the criteria I stated previously. You need to find a relevant example first.
What is new is the vehement attack on Hillary. It is not necessary for you to continue to use the primaries to bash another Democrat.
Given the amount of vitriol I've heard from the PUMA brigade regarding Obama I find your commentary incredibly ironic.
Physician heal thyself"
Oh, independent, those spineless weasles who claim they do not belong to any party and are responsible according to the media for putting Bush to two terms.Now I have to put your crap in perspective because a true Democrat will not continue this.
It is not ironic if you take yourself as the flipside of the so-called PUMA, they do not want party unity I want it for the country's sake.
What do you mean that Jesse Jackson was not the favorite at the start when he was leading the polls at the start of the Democratic primaries? The same was in 1992, Clinton was not the leading candidate and 2004 Kerry was not the favorite. I am merely pointing out that what the polls initially indicate do not necessary mean that is what will eventually turn out.
That is the reason they have the primary, because what turns out initially as the advantages for Hillary eventually dissipated with some of her own mistakes and the pummeling she got from the media. Ask Dr. Dean and you will understand what I mean.
